I'm only 20 years old and living on my own, don't have family supporting me financially. I had the car for 2 weeks. I went back to the dealer he said he will fix it and put additives but I talked to a mechanic and he said that won't help. The dealer also told me don't have anyone else look at it. What the should I do? Can I get my money back? Sue?
You need to provide more information on the car for your question to be answered i.e. namely price and mileage at the time of purchase-
Used car buyers in New York State are protected under a “lemon” law requiring dealers to
provide written warranties on used cars selling for $1,500 or more, with mileage of less than
100,000 miles.
The law covers used car purchases and leases from New York dealers and auction houses
on cars primarily used for personal purposes. Used car dealers must honor a warranty for a given number of miles, based on the car’s mileage at the time of purchase. The warranty covers the engine, transmission, drive axle,brakes, radiator, steering, and alternator:
Mileage Warranty
0-36,000 90 days or 4,000 miles
36,001-79,999 60 days or 3,000 miles
80,000-100,000 30 days or 1,000 miles
USED CAR SALES | 3 |Where to get
help If a dealer can’t repair a defect after three tries, the consumer has the right to request a refund or replacement. If the dealer refuses, you have several options. If the dealer belongs to one of the dealersponsored arbitration programs, in which the arbitration is non-binding, you must either go through that program or the New York State Used-Car Lemon Law Arbitration Program where the arbitration is binding.
Alternativel you can go to small claims court.
